Pumpkin Rice Pudding

This pumpkin rice pudding is delicious and hearty, perfect for weekend breakfast! Try it and you’ll agree!

My Mom used to make rice pudding almost every Sunday during my childhood. It came piping hot out of the oven with a brown crust of milk on the top. Although this one has the addition of pumpkin, it still managed to bring back nostalgic memories of cold winters playing in the snow in the backyard, then coming in with our noses freezing cold to a warm bowl of this delicious dessert. I can still taste the flavor even to this day.

This pumpkin rice pudding recipe is crazy simple to make. Anyone can do it. Seriously!

Pumpkin Rice Pudding

This pumpkin rice pudding is delicious and hearty, perfect for weekend breakfast!

Ingredients

600ml milk

1/2 cup of short grain rice (or anything you have in the cupboard so long as it's rice!)

3 tablespoons sugar

A handful of sultanas

A handful of cooked pumpkin cubes or 1/2 cup pumpkin puree

1 tablespoon of butter approx.

Grated nutmeg

Pumpkin pie spice, Cinnamon and/or ginger (optional)

Instructions

Put the rice and sugar and sultanas in a bowl. (Don't forget the rice will swell so make sure the bowl is big enough!) I use my favorite vintage pyrex bowl with the snowflakes on! Another childhood memory.

Add the milk and the pumpkin and stir around a bit.

If you love spices add a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice or half a teaspoon of cinnamon and the same of ginger.

Dot some butter on the surface and grate a little nutmeg on top.

Put in a pre-heated oven at gas mark 2, 300°F. Bake for 2 hours, taking it out a couple of times during the first hour and giving it a stir.
